Lifetime GuaranteeEmail to a friend Share Social
A recent find: an old Japanese SHOKI-IMARI blue-and-white porcelain ware bottle
with unique hand painted designs called Kusabana-Chou-Monyou (Grass, flower, and butterfly patterns).
Desirable Wabi-Sabi form.
Dates to the early Edo period, early 19th century.
Wabi-sabi crafted as a purposely tilted creation. Handsome rich blue and cream glazes cover its extremities.
Used perhaps as a vase or water vessel, this superb example possesses some say -wabi-sabi – the Japanese aesthetic of perfection of the imperfection – that unmistakable sublime look and feel collectors seek and covet.
It has no repairs or damages.
It would also make a very special vase.
We were very lucky to have found this one from our recent acquisitions in Japan. It would be difficult to improve on this fine example.
Dimensions: 12 inches tall
Provenance: old Japan art collection
Only one. Irreplaceable.
Wabi-sabi is a concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics constituting a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence , specifically impermanence , suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature.
